I used to shiver because I used to feel extremely cold. Due to this, I had to cover my scalp.”
Hina acknowledged that although she had promised herself to confidently flaunt her bald head, the circumstances made it impossible. She explained how she came to terms with her decision, understanding that her well-being was the priority. She admitted, “I felt that I shouldn’t do it as I was unable to keep my head open.”
